A Drunken Mind Speaks a Sober Heart

I am scared and fearless at the same time
I am sober and drunk all together
I am wild and conservative and just plain nuts
And I pull stunts like I'll live forever.
I do comepletely stupid stuff
And I don't really care what happens 
If I survive, that's another chance
To do something and see if I crash it.
I am sick and tired all at once
I am healthy and energetic
I can go all day, I crash after an hour
I get right back up and forget it.
I am hardworking and lazy
I do forgive and forget
I live in the moment, I plan every second
Make decisions I know I'll regret.
I want to love and be loved
I want to be left all alone
I want someone there for me
I want to rule from my place on a throne.
I want to rock this world
And make my name unforgettable
I want to be known by no one
I hate the inevitable.
I don't want to be remembered
Yet I want my legacy to live on
I want to be hated by some people
And I want the haters to be gone.
I believe in passion for something
But not in real true love
I don't believe in fairy tales
But I wish on stars above.
I am careful and careless
I take risks and then again, I don't
I try to make the best of life
But wait for it, I won't.
These words I speak now today
Are reckless and torn apart
I sound crazy and indecisive,
But a drunken minds speaks a sober heart.
